		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			The story of The Emperor’s New Suit has always struck me as an odd one.
			I don&apos;t understand the emperor&apos;s motives at all.
			I mean, let&apos;s say there really existed this magic fabric that could only be seen by the worthy.
			Let&apos;s say too that the king could actually see it; he was in fact worthy himself.
			Why in the world would he want to wear it, even if it was the most beautiful thing he&apos;d ever seen?
			Obviously, not everyone in the kingdom would be worthy.
			He&apos;s going to appear naked to at least some of his subjects.
			Why would he want that?
			He should decline the suit, even if he can see it.
		</p>
		<p>
			Next, let&apos;s look at the situation as it was.
			There was no fabric.
			Not only can the king not see it, he can&apos;t feel it either.
			It does not keep him warm or sheltered from the sun.
			He doesn&apos;t know where it is.
			How can he properly even put on the suit without the tailors to put it on for him?
			Yet the kin agrees to use this suit.
			Sure, he&apos;s got his reputation to look after, so he should say he can see it, but he should claim the reason he doesn&apos;t want it is so he doesn&apos;t appear nude to his subjects, just as if he could actually see it.
		</p>
		<p>
			I assume the moral of the story is something about how one shouldn&apos;t worry about what others think, but with the king being so stupid and illogical, I only take from it the reverse lesson.
			If the king had worried <strong>*more*</strong> about what his subjects would think, he&apos;d have realised that even if he wasn&apos;t actually nude, he&apos;s going to look nude to some when he wears the suit.
			By thinking <strong>*more*</strong> about how others would perceive him, he would have avoided the situation altogether.
